1. And now I want to remind you, my brothers and sisters, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm.
2. That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it — unless it was for nothing that you believed.
3. I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures;
4. that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;
5. that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles.
